Singular Nouns Versus Plural Nouns

Singular nouns are nouns that are used when we’re talking about only one individual person, one place, one thing, or one idea. Singular nouns are used in singular forms.

Examples:

A door

A dove

A city

An apple

An umbrella

A house

Plural nouns are nouns that are used when we’re talking about more than one person, more than one place and more than one thing or more than one idea. In order to change a singular noun to its plural form in English, we usually add either ‘s’, ‘es’ or ‘ies’.
